Ok, I think we're far enough into Christmas 2007 to name and shame those casinos that didn't give a Christmas present. They've had enough time to credit our accounts :)

3Dice - Zilch (I guess you only get a xmas present if you're not overall winner)
Club World - Zilch
Intertops - Zilch
iNetBet - Credit for giving a present, but it's the blanket $10 everyone got...so much for feeling "special"
Wild Jack Casino - Zilch
All Jackpots - Zilch

Honorable mention for bonus "presents":

Well, I posted before on the other thread about Xmas bonuses but thought I would add here. I just got the nicest email from TIV wishing me a Merry Xmas plus a $50 free chip that I got earlier. Nothing from any of the other ones that I so loyal send money to. And believe me, I have been very loyal. So, as the saying goes, "What goes around, comes around".

Merry Christmas to all.
 
Scrooges......continues

I just wanted to add my 2 cents.
The only thing I've gotten is the $10.00 from Inetbet.....just like everyone else.:rolleyes:
Guess I shouldn't expect anything from Fortune Lounge since I closed out my accounts a couple of weeks ago, due to their lousy bonuses and the inability to get them credited correctly more times than not.
Grand Prive..nothing, nada, which leaves me more than a little peeved. I've been a pretty good customer for the last 6 months, not even a Christmas email.
Club World......a few hundred in deposits in the last 6 months, nothing, no email, no bonus offer. Opps.....I just checked my spam folder and I do have a couple of bonus offers from them.....but still.
At the few other casino's that I play at, I got a few bonus offers but big woopee doo! I want cold hard cash! :)

All Jackpots and 3 Dice, well I didn't really expect anything because my deposits have been pretty small there, so no hard feelings about that, but dang..what is the deal about not even sending an email Christmas Greeting.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm rethinking this whole gambling thing for several reasons and some of them are personal but the main one being just a complete lack of appreciation for people like me who are the bread and butter of the casino's. We aren't high rollers but customers none the less and we don't feel our business is appreciated. Maybe some of them need to wake up and find which side their bread is buttered on. Come on guys........show a little appreciation for your good customers.

i has a personal phone call today from my casino mgr. wishing me and my family a very merry christmas and that i had a 300.00 chip in my account!!!! your too sweet cindy, thanks:)

Is this from the same casino from your recent screenshots?

If so, to be brutally honest, they just want their money back :D

Not to downplay your wins, because they've been awesome, but low rollers need to be treated with the exact same respect as higher rollers...it's been said time and time again that the low rollers are the bread and butter of most of these casinos, and they need to learn this!

Sure, the whales can drop 5 figures+ a week, but what happens on the weeks that they're hot? The low rollers will make up quite a bit of the difference...
 
Seems that 3dice did indeed give an xmas present, but failed to email me about it. Enzo pointed out that there was one waiting for me in the cashier's section :thumbsup:

Happy Holidays!

I got nothing from 3Dice. If you're gonna give one person a present, then you should give anyone who has deposited in the last 30 days something, Enzo, no?

At least $10 would be nice, as I know you have won more than that from most everyone who falls in this category.
 
regarding 3dice... i was wondering why i didn't get anything, not even a "merry christmas" email or something. i figured i lost enough there. maybe it's because i vented about the harsh streaks (and forgot about the great ones?) maybe my breath was stinky? :confused: i still deposit and play only there. i still recommend them like crazy and consider myself a 3dice loyalist and never complain about bad streaks anymore...so "what's up?" i thought.

so i logged on and did a full account of how i was doing and guess what... i'm winning at 3dice after 3 months of extensive play. i was kinda shocked. i thought i was down a couple of grand, but some recent cashouts and losing smaller deposits rather than big ones made a huge difference. (obviously, the money wasn't as important to me as getting quality play time or i would've kept better track, lol)

another important thing i noticed was that i was getting "christmas" type bonuses all the time since october! (mostly for some netspend hassles)

then i saw where one time i got a nice bonus after some bad streaks and was so frustrated that i blew the bonus in 5 minutes and Enzo resurrected the bonus for me so i could have another chance!!

and one time, when i wanted to play but couldn't deposit because of a cool down period, Enzo gave me free tournament credits to keep me busy until i could play again.

and one time, in band camp.... j/k (had to have seen the movie to get this joke :D)

then i started to add up the 20% deposit bonuses with the manager's bonuses and the rep bonuses..... you get the point.

i mean, upgrading the software to add christmas cheer, giving gifts to players who are high rollers or to players who may have needed some extra "cheer." i think that's all good!!! as far as i'm concerned, i've gotten plenty of christmas bonuses..... since october :rolleyes:

anyway, this is just my humble opinion. ;) Though a "merry christmas" e-mail would've been nice :p

hope everyone had a wonderful christmas and here's to a brand new year coming up!!!:lolup:
 
Aha... that's what I get for not reading! :D

I'm not home yet though... hopefully I can redeem it (not that it will amount to anything, especially if it's got a max cashout) when I get home later today.

From what I read, it has a 10x max cashout. I took it as having the same rules as any other "free chip". :rolleyes:

What I do know for certain is the fact that it also has a 25x WR attached to it. :rolleyes:

Some Christmas gift, eh? Another reason for them to be in the "Scrooge" category.

Maximum cashout of $100 + minimum cashout of $200 = a $100 donation in my name to the Human Fund

Aren't you the guy who said that 3Dice is the most overrated casino of 2007 in another thread? And now you expect Christmas presents from them! :rolleyes: Get real! These places are run by people... people with feelings, just like you! You got what you deserved after your comment.
 
Club World has been wonderful to me since the first day I've started playing there.
I feel like I've known most of the folks on live chat for years they are that friendly and courteous. I'm a low better but they treat me with just as much respect as if I was a big time depositor.
Thank you Club World, you're no Scrooge in my books! :)
 
I may be the Grinch now but my husband and I were bored yesterday after the relatives, food, etc. and just wanted to play for awhile. Did the "free" $10 at INET and that was gone in 60 seconds, then did the 100% match $50 plus their $50.....lost that in probably 30 minutes (it didn't matter if it was $1 a spin, $.40 a spin, nothing was paying), then on we went to Club World and did the same thing...that was "Worse"..not one free spin on a multitude of games. And, I have deposited there several times and the same thing happens....I'm getting the feeling they don't like me:confused:. So, I'm thinking, o.k. maybe they would throw a bone my way just because of Christmas....my offer was 35% on my next deposit..that made me really excited:rolleyes: so we decided to cut our losses and reconsider where we play. We did play at another place that actually gave us a decent chip so we could at least pretend we might win!!:thumbsup:
 
Don't know if you'd class this a "Scrooge Post" more fitting thread would be the "Biggest low life scum sucking douche bag award for 2007"...

Anyway I name: CasinoShare.

After dropping $4.6K in couple of sessions & supporting them sine they opened, I thought I deserved something, consider I'd never cashed out there.

Sent the following email:

-----------------------
Dear CSR,

I hope this finds you well on Christmas day and that you'll get time to spend with family on friends.

What I'm about to say is nothing personal towards you, however I am disappointed.

In a bit over 2 months I've dropped $4,600US. Not to mention my overall wagering and the fact I've never cashed out.

Hopefully you can imaging my surprise when I didn't receive a free Christmas bonus nor even a Christmas card. I'm not about to get bent out of shape, however, it's pretty clear that my patronage of Casinoshare is a disposable affair and not considered worthwhile.

I'm sure other people probably drop more than me, but, I also know (being part of this industry) there are a lot of other players that at most drop $200 a month if that.

I'm very disappointed.

Cheers

-----------------------

Well 24 hours later no response so I check my account.

Couldn't believe it, they've locked the damn thing :what:

Max if your reading this I suggest you speak with Cherylann first then read my PM...

Edit: And these guys want to do business with me...You got to be bloody joking!
I've got some contacts but what about players that don't, what do they do when you pull the rug out from under them? Nothing, jack, zip they have NO recourse.

This is a good lesson, even though I don't agree with eCogra on a lot of things, eCogra are better than nothing, least sealed casino's have some type of accountability that can be questioned by eCogra.

Now that I realise that Casinoshare is not sCogra sealed everything starts to fall into place.

You guys are sounding like a bunch of cry-babies "where're my pressies!!" <stamping of feet> :sob:

You know who the REAL Scrooges are? Those who haven't dropped some dough here:

C'mon, quit begging for bonuses, and think about others who are really in need.

Xmas is about giving - not receiving, right?

I do feel they are overrated, and yet I still play there as they are probably the best online casino that I have access to, as I live in the USA, and further, in one of the MG banned states. And I am on record here as holding any RTG casinos in total disgust. So 3Dice is the best option at the moment.

As far as your point, yes, I made those comments, but I am still a paying customer. Apparently, though, I'm not as big a hitter as winbig is, so I get no xmas comp. I don't necessarily think that a comp is a requirement for any casino; but when you comp any player as such, I think any recent depositor deserves at least a token "present" as well. Like I said, $10 would have been much appreciated.

As far as hurting anyone's feelings, my criticism was not mean, I was just expressing my feelings. A good organization will improve itself by listening to a constructive critique. My point was that a better than average casino does not necessarily make it a great one. But some posters here make 3Dice out to be the best casino that could ever be. Are you one of them?

And who exactly are you to decide what I deserve?

I don't think anyone's begging for bonuses here...at least that wasn't my reason for starting the thread. For me, it's a matter of respect more than anything. If you're loyal to certain casinos, you should get something in return around the holidays. We all know that most casinos' comp programs leave much to be desired throughout the year.

If they want to be PC, then they could at least offer their regards in a "Happy Holidays" format instead of Merry Christmas....I was quite shocked not to even get that from most of the casinos I frequent.

...........................well i learned my lesson today what the casino giveth yesterday they will take back today, you were right winbig lost over 9k cause i thought i was still on a roll, well not now cant hit a thing im back on my dry spell. i usually play low except these past few months and made some huge wins, then got stupid today and gave alot back.i can assure you im no whale just a player who got lucky and started making bigger betts and now i feel like a fool. so back to playing like im used to playing, big betting has bit me in the ass!! luck only can go so far:(................laurie aka (not a whale)
 
Hi everyone theres a code goin round now that if you email intertops support with this code your get $10 xmas gift heres the code 0010jfgvt

Ok so i dont know if it works as i havent tryed it yet and just cashed out on a 5 freebee so maybe not for me.

And on the whole begging for cash thing, I think its more that we or most drop so much cash into these casinos who some how go bust complete losers lol wtf. That when it come to christmas we would like to get through a realy nice time off year or c. eve to boxing day with no losses by playing on free cash.

I got a few this year $10 alljackpots cashed out on it 75 only made 1 or 2 small deposits there but they seem to send me free cash more thatn a few times now.

casino rewards $50 but trying to kick them as there slots are as tite as well you know. And there little bad rep but they do defs pay thats for sure takes awhile tho.

$30 casino extreme played there i think twice but dropped alot off cash in 1 day bad times.

Club world gave me i think a $50 come back chip a few weeks before christmas sweet.

nothing from 3 dice and i have pritty bad overal losses there.

maybe i got anouther 1 maybe cant remember now its late nothing to good.

But i do think that this topic is kinda sounds pritty harsh mr meister sir but a little more thought i think that it serves it place very well as we can see which casino is more generous towards players and thats a good thing. as i have few times gone on great rolls off winnings off free chips and now i get a look to see where i may drop a bit off cash in future but nothing is certain in this buisness.

Hope you all had a nice christmas this year and have a winning new year big time.

Hei and i didnt lose this christmas didnt win much but no losses its been pritty dry for me for a couple off months now so surviving xmas is a good start for the coming off the new year. :)

That is a fair call :thumbsup:

Even if you can only afford $20 bucks it's something, right!

However the topic is a fair call too on the part of players IMHO.
We drop buckets at these places and they can't even send a Christmas card. Even if my Christmas bonuses were donated to charity that would OK with me.

To get nothing after supporting them is indeed very Scrooge like behaviour!

Agree and I understand CM's intent and I am sure he realizes that alot of his members make numerous charitable donations plus some volunteer their time in many ways or do both.Tooting my own horn, I served on the Cystic Fibrosis Board for many years with no personal ties to that horrible disease. I currently serve on several other charitable boards and will continue to volunteer in my retirement......Futhermore, some prefer for their charitable giving to remain private (like private messages I guess since I caused a new forum rule to be written, better stop the derail but I still do not get why PM's have a forward button other than a few obvious reasons)..........Happy New Year:cheers::drink::cheers:
 
Club World Surprise

I was astonished on Christmas Day when I checked my Club World account and found coal in my stocking there ! Absolutely Amazed I thought to myself...:confused:...could the Club World Santa have totally forgotten about me ? Well apparently he had...:eek:...:mad:...so I decided to send them an email which I have included below:

Hello, firstly I would like to wish you guys a Merry Christmas even if nothing else comes out of this email. I have enjoyed playing at your casino over the past year even though I have only cashed out about two small times.

Last year Jason gave me a nice $150.00 Christmas Bonus into my account and I had only been a member of your casino for about two months and only made a few hundred dollars in deposits BUT this year I have played at your casino just about every day of this year sometimes making multiple deposits each day probably totaling almost $20,000.00 plus or minus to date I would imagine.

So with it being approx. 1:50pm here on the east coast and Christmas day soon coming to a close I am at a total loss for words to describe my feelings toward Club World Casino right now considering I have received Absolutely NOTHING as far as a generous Christmas bonus other that the email I included below that I thought was in real bad taste and a Joke as I read it thinking back on how much I have deposited there this year practically ever day this past year. Hope you guys do not make the same mistake with your other loyal players next year that you did with me this year. What really amazes me is the fact that I am even having to write you this letter. Just so you guys know if you start wondering what happened to me I will be over at 3Dice Casino from now on where I have been a member now for approx. 3 months.!!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Sincerely,

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

_______________________________________________________________

That email did manage to get a response out of Club World with a very very generous $100.00 comp with a 10X wager requirement attached to it...What a fucking great gift, I thought they really are trying to piss me off on Christmas day. Well to Hell with this kind of No Customer Service Appreciation:mad: Whatever happened to Jason and the other great folks that used to work there, even private messaged the account manager here for Club World and NO RESPONSE ? :mad:

So like Cartman says on South Park :

Screw you guys, I'm going home !!

Actually mine goes like this:

Screw you Club World, I'm going over to 3Dice !! :lolup::lolup::lolup:
 
But some posters here make 3Dice out to be the best casino that could ever be. Are you one of them?

And who exactly are you to decide what I deserve?

To answer the first question above.... Yes! I Am one of those people who thinks 3Dice is the best casino ever, and am not ashamed to say it. Now the second question you posed at me speaks for itself. I got a $500.00 bottle of Champagne, what did you get?
 
My xmas expericence:

Inetbet private code for a xmas bonus and 10 nd BIG THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Casino Rewards 50.00 snailmail gift BIG THANK YOU!!! as I was sour on them and had not deposited in a while, they also gave me a birthday bonus of 50.00.

Villento Casino was my biggest let down over 2 years I have wagered thousands and withdrawn only once a pittance 300.00 and I got 20.00 in loyalty points as my xmas pressie, that was a slap in the face and I told them so for what it was worth. They wrote back saying " don't forget your free spins on a tuesday and your 30% match bonus" did I miss something there:what:

I think I am a bread and butter player for some casinos and of all casinos INETBET does recognize players for this so I think I will stick to playing there a lot more in the new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I also have to add the casinos would have had more of my money if I could deposit like I used to...perhaps the deposit issue is a good thing.

Hope you all had a safe xmas and the new year brings mega luck to you all:)

So 3Dice couldn't improve itself? Or you cannot fathom any possibility of a better casino, even in your head? Looks like the terrorists got into your Imaginationland and shut it down completely. Either that, or perhaps you're just a shill.

As far as the second question goes, your answer is just self-aggrandizing. A $500 bottle of Champaign? Wow, you are so cool!

In my book, 3Dice is a maybe a 6 or 6.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. I guess my standards are just higher than yours...
 
I think that post pretty much demonstrates why a lot of casinos choose not to give out bonuses.

What did you guys get from Amazon for Xmas this year?


No, I think casinos choose not to give out bonuses because they don't give a damn about the players that support them and keep them in business, they know there will always be another player to deposit.



Simmo....my local 7-11 gives a free coffee to you when you buy 6...another local store gave out free candy canes for a week to anyone who drove up to the gas pumps (it doesn't seem like much, but think about the cost of this, this is a chain store too and they did it at all of their stores in our area, about 20) I could go on and on how establishments went out/go out of their way to make their customers happy and keep them coming back.

It is ONE time a year, I don't see the big problem with giving out a bonus ONCE a year. The casinos surely won't go broke.

Yup thats good business...with emphasis on the word business. My point was more that it shouldn't be expected as that post I quoted seemed to imply.
 
After I didn't get anything last year I wasn't surprised to not get anything this year. On the other hand, the B&M casinos took really good care of me for Christmas and birthday, these internet jobs ain't got nothing on a B&M. Thousands worth of rooms and food and free play, year round I might add, and you can't even get $20 from an online casino once a year.. for shame for shame.

Remember in the new year how pissed you are now that you didn't get anything for Christmas and move your business elsewhere.
 
these internet jobs ain't got nothing on a B&M.
POINT/COUNTERPOINT-----you are so correct as last year I think Harrah's alone gave me 3 cruises (one worth over 10K for 2 people leaving port from Barcelona),a trip to the Super Bowl of which I intended to go but was ill and cancelled at the last minute (luckily if you remember the monsoon during the game in Miami) plus gr8 party invites from the Palms,on and on........Yet we continue to throw our dollars at onlines (of course not the same bankroll for some but still good biz and maybe even higher handles since you can play about 800 hands of BJ online per hour vs. maybe 80 in a B & M) and as Slotster said the onlines do not get it, maybe we do not get it by continuing to patronize online gaming (yes I realize I should be grateful that I can entertain myself without having to leave the crib:rolleyes:)..........I mailed the 5 dollar coupon back to Intertops (a spoiled brat goof,kid I am as some love to assert).....I realize everyone will not relate or agree but geez CM and Simmo let the people who contribute to your incomes vent although I GRANT YOU we are responsible for our own actions and if we online patrons go, then whatever!
 
Nothin from Inetbet either :mad:

Made about $2K in deposits there too. Not large in any way, but low rollers are people too ! :rolleyes:

Ah well, B&M for New Year's Eve woohoo.
 
i got nada from 3 dice, i realize though that i actually only made one deposit there i had 4 times that i tried and we couldn't get my card to work and at the time qt didn't take master cards either so its not my fault or theirs that i couldn't deposit it was just one of those things it's just that because they have excellled at everything else that they go above and beyond service with i thought they would at least hook it up with a$10 spot but no hard feelings and now that qt takes mc i will have to give them another go,enzo if you read this can you get back to me about your processers please, you never answered my pm
 
Scrooges indeed!

I've just read right through this thread and I can not believe how tight most of the casino are!
I'm only a low roller and so didn't expect or get anything personally (except a superb no-strings no WR gift from 32Red), but to read of some players depositing & losing $10,000's over the year & getting zip or some pathetic $5 or $10 makes me cringe.
What is wrong with these people? :eek2:
